This chapter underscores the significant impact of parents' behavior and actions on shaping their children's behavior, suggesting that being positive role models is more influential on children than rules and punishments.
“There are things we don’t want our kids to do. We set up rules. We create punishments. We supervise them closely. It works...to a degree, but it’s also exhausting. Meanwhile, we neglect—as we’ve discussed a thousand times—the most powerful deterrent and the most influential motivator: Our own actions.”
Ryan explains why you have to be your kids inspiration.
